Liver cysts are a common type of benign tumor in the liver, often undetectable through physical examination because most liver cysts are small in size and are usually found during ultrasonography. At this stage, no special treatment is necessary; it is advisable to regularly recheck with ultrasound to monitor any changes in size. However, for patients with large liver cysts, localized compression symptoms may occur, affecting liver function, and can be detected during physical examination. These cysts typically feel soft, not hard. Therefore, early surgical removal should be considered to improve patient outcomes.
